Best paint to design on clothes and shoes?

Fabric paint coagulates and is hard to apply on the hairy surface of a shirt.


What other paint can be used?





For shoes I have tried oiled markers (the one with toxins), the paint falls off. I applied an finished and or a varnish to the paint and it has not worked, or blurred out the paint to a gray color.





What do I do?


I have also tired to print on computer fabric paint, the one you just iron on, and it has also pealed off. Should I buy a much more expensive one or take it to an special place?


Please help.

Best paint for fabric is from the well known and trusted company Pebeo. It's called SETACOLOR. Here's a link:
Reply:Fabric paint - use a coat of textile medium on the fabric first and then mix 1 part textile medium into 3 parts of fabric paint and apply this as your 2nd coat once the first coat has dried.
Reply:Acrylic paint is wonderful for clothes, that's what I use for my colorguard shirts I design. because it doesn't come off in the washing machine. I'm not sure how reliable fabric paint is, though, but I think it's expensive... acrylic paint is cheap if you get it in little bottles.
